As part of the UCM Office of Health Promotion, the Care To Act approach supports each campus community member in making a positive difference on our campus in these four areas:
These concerns affect the well-being and safety of everyone. |
Care To Act includes these primary components:
overview courseUCM provides support for members of the University community who have experienced sexual misconduct while also providing an equitable resolution process. A formal complaint does not need to be filed in order to seek assistance or supportive measures.
The University treats all disclosures and reports of sexual misconduct with great care and discretion while also balancing the duty to provide fairness and safety to our community. If you or someone you know has experienced sexual misconduct, we can help. UCM provides different options for reporting, both confidential and non-confidential.
Some just want to share their experience with someone and stop there. Some want to make a formal complaint and want the University to resolve the matter. Others are not sure and wish to talk to someone confidentially. Whatever the choice, UCM encourages those who have experienced sexual misconduct to talk to someone about their experience so assistance and support can be provided, and the University can respond appropriately.
If you have experienced sexual violence or another form of sexual misconduct and need immediate assistance, please contact law enforcement in your area to seek immediate medical assistance or to file a report.
For campus emergencies, please call 911, or for assistance on campus from UCM Public Safety, please call 660-543-4123.
Our intent is to provide a range of options so those who have experienced sexual misconduct can make informed decisions about who can best provide assistance for their needs.
Rape Aggression Defense System (R.A.D.), and Resisting Aggression with Defense (R.A.D.) are programs of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques for men and women. The programs are taught by officers from UCM’s Department of Public Safety and are offered at no cost to UCM students, employees, and dependents.
Programs are 12 hours in length. To enroll in a course please contact Officer Angela Garrett by e-mail at agarrett@ucmo.edu, or phone (660) 543-4123.
Each night the Student Assistant Foot patrol and Escort (SAFE) Team patrols the UCM campus on foot to help deter crime. Members of the SAFE team are part-time, uniformed, student employees. You can request a SAFE Team escort on campus by calling (660) 543-4123.
The SAFE Team is available from 7 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., seven days a week, when UCM is in session during the regular academic year. Extended hours are available on weekends.
